Friction Clutches TRIZ Cases
- Universal Clutch Housing with Adjustable Mounting for Fan Compatibility
A universal clutch housing member uses adjustable mounting holes and pilot surfaces to accommodate various fan sizes.
- Bi-directional Clutch Wedge Plate Radial Expansion
Radially expanding the wedge plate minimizes frictional drag during free-wheel operation while ensuring reliable torque transmission in locking mode.
- Damper Device Void Formation Suppresses Hysteresis Torque
A damper device uses projected and recessed seat surfaces to create a twist-dependent void that isolates contact points.
- Clutch Pressure Plate Axial Stop Using Segmented Barbs
Segmented bracket barbs constrain axial pressure plate travel, preventing flywheel damage and bracket warping from over-adjustment forces.
- Dry Dual Clutch Cooling via Integrated Fan Impeller
A dry dual clutch integrates a fan impeller into the central disk and pressure plates to actively cool friction surfaces.
- Clutch Pressure Plate Radial Projections for Sediment Drainage
Radial projections on the clutch pressure plate edge center the lever spring plate while creating gaps for debris removal.
- Friction Clutch Damper Asymmetric Window Clearance
Asymmetric window clearance activates distinct elastic member sets to optimize vibration damping across forward and reverse directions.
- Clutch Support Plate Segmentation for Axial Force Management
Segmented support plate design distributes axial forces across thicker protruding portions to enhance structural stiffness.
- Locking Piston Axial Displacement in Hydrokinetic Torque Coupling
Axial displacement of the locking piston prevents premature disengagement caused by transmission fluid forces during coasting.
- Variable Lever Ratio Clutch Actuator Torque Reduction
Dynamic lever ratio adjustment reduces peak actuator torque, lowering power consumption and enabling smaller motor designs.
- Torque Transmission Device Guide Washer Segmentation
Segmenting coupling into guide washer recesses and hysteresis washer protrusions eliminates fragile wedge-shaped flanges for easier manufacturing.
- Clutch Wear Compensation via Pivoting Nut and Threaded Rod
A clutch wear compensation mechanism uses a pivoting nut linked to the pressure plate to drive a threaded rod.
- Clutch Pack Wear Liners and Thin Friction Disks
Wear liners protect aluminum baskets while thin friction disks increase plate count within fixed height constraints.
- Clutch Friction Material with Layered Carbon Structure
A clutch friction material uses a layered carbon structure to stabilize torque transmission and reduce vibration during mode switching.
- Clutch Diaphragm Bearing Washer Stress Distribution
A detachable bearing washer separates from the clutch cover to absorb diaphragm forces, resolving wear compensation reliability against cover mechanical stress.
- Universal Clutch Housing with Dual Mounting Configurations
Dual mounting hole sets in a single housing member replace multiple inventory types, reducing manufacturing costs for vehicle cooling fans.
- Software Change Impact Analysis Iterative Refinement
Iterative candidate selection identifies affected program components, eliminating false-positive errors in change-impact analysis.
- Controllable Overrunning Coupling Assembly Reducing Fluidic Drag
Hybrid coupling assembly replaces mechanical damping with hydrodynamic bearings, reducing oil consumption and fluidic drag while maintaining stability.
- Transmission Clutch Locking Torsion Spring Design
Locking hook secures torsion spring to pressure plate, preventing overlap and unintended release during wear compensation.
